Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about loans, insurance, and financial planning
What is the interest rate for home loans?
Home loan interest rates vary depending on the lender, your credit score, and market conditions. At Credit Guru, we compare rates across 20+ lenders to find the best rate for you. Current rates typically range from 6.5% to 9% per annum. We help you negotiate for the best possible rate based on your profile.
How long does home loan approval take?
Home loan approval typically takes 7-15 days after document submission. At Credit Guru, we expedite the process through our relationships with lenders, often getting approvals within 5-7 days. The time depends on document completeness and lender processing speed.
What documents are needed for a home loan?
Required documents include: salary slips (last 3 months), bank statements (last 6 months), IT returns (last 2 years), identity proof, address proof, property documents, and NOC from employer. For self-employed individuals, we also need business proof. Credit Guru guides you through the complete documentation process.
What is a good CIBIL score?
A CIBIL score of 750 or above is considered good and gets easy loan approvals. Scores between 650-749 are fair, and below 650 is poor. Most lenders prefer scores above 700. At Credit Guru, we help improve your CIBIL score through strategic financial planning.
How can I improve my CIBIL score?
You can improve your CIBIL score by: making payments on time, reducing credit utilization to below 30%, clearing outstanding dues, maintaining credit mix (secured + unsecured loans), and regularly checking for errors in your report. Credit Guru provides personalized improvement strategies based on your credit profile.
What is balance transfer and why should I do it?
Balance transfer is moving your existing loan to a new lender with better terms and lower interest rates. You should consider it to reduce your EMI, improve loan terms, or get better customer service. At Credit Guru, we help you save money through strategic balance transfers.
How long does balance transfer take?
Balance transfer typically takes 15-30 days from application to completion. The new lender pays off your existing loan, and you start with the new lender. Credit Guru handles the entire process, usually completing transfers within 20 days.
Do I need insurance?
Yes, insurance is essential for financial security. Life insurance protects your family, health insurance covers medical expenses, and general insurance protects your assets. Credit Guru recommends customized insurance based on your life stage and financial goals.
What is the difference between term life and endowment insurance?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a fixed period (10-30 years) with high coverage at low cost - best for family protection. Endowment insurance combines coverage with savings/investment, with lower coverage but returns at maturity. Credit Guru helps you choose based on your goals.
How much life insurance do I need?
A common rule is 10-15x your annual income. However, it depends on your lifestyle, dependents, debts, and financial obligations. Credit Guru provides personalized needs analysis to recommend appropriate coverage for you.
Can I get a loan with poor CIBIL score?
Yes, but with limitations. Lenders may charge higher interest rates or offer lower amounts. Some specialized lenders have programs for low CIBIL scores. Credit Guru helps you find lenders who work with your profile and develops a plan to improve your score.
What is mutual fund investment?
Mutual funds pool money from multiple investors to invest in stocks, bonds, or other securities. They offer diversification, professional management, and flexibility. Credit Guru recommends mutual funds based on your risk profile and financial goals.
How much commission does Credit Guru charge?
Credit Guru charges transparent fees based on the service. For loan services, commissions come from lenders (you pay nothing extra). For insurance, we may charge a consulting fee or earn commission from insurers. We always disclose fees upfront with no hidden charges.
